What time is it? How the hell should I know – my watch has only one hand! I don’t buy watches to tell the time! What are you…stupid or something? Actually the Botta’s unique one-handed design simplifies how we tell the time. From what I can gather, the watches pictured above read 10:30, meaning that each small notch represents 5 ...

Gateway has finally taken the wraps of their sleek new all-in-one PC dubbed “The Gateway One”, and the verdict is that it looks a lot like an iMac – but cool is cool, and I can’t really say that I mind all that much. More info after the jump.

A microphone sewn into the connecting tube records the conversation, breathing, and kissing going on inside. Once ...

The sets come in the typical boy+girl models, and are even available in politically correct versions featuring 2 boys or 2 ...

Here’s a clever little pen holder for all you damn perverts. The PenStar looks like a scantily clad chick dancing away on a pole. Either that, or she’s a transvestite with one massive… umm, pencil. Place your pen softly inside of her. Trust me, you’ll like it. I’d be in so much trouble if this wasn’t a gadget I was ...

The Gumnetic Chewy Pad concept from designer Anna Bullus aims to alleviate the burden chewing gum is placing on our landfills, sidewalks, and movie theater chairs while simultaneously offering relief from our everyday aches and pains.
